First time I've ever heard of "Globalists" who want to cull 90% of World's population. Assuming they actually exist, they are of course vastly outnumbered by those who don't see a problem with adding another 80 million people to this planet every year.

A new thread based on something Alex Jones dreamed up? Really? While we're at it, I'm doing a crowd-funding scheme for my new perpetual motion free energy machine. Leave me a PM if you want in on the ground floor. You'll get rich. I swear it!

The day we should start worrying about what Alex Jones says is the day we should start believing in a whole HORDE of unsupported conspiracy theories, and in rapid economic doom from peak oil.

Not to mention that at least 99% of people just want to live their natural life span, at least until disease has clearly won, and will tend to rather strongly resist people who try to impose such culling efforts toward them or their families.

I don't want to intrude in the ridicule fest (really AdamB, you should know better) but there may just be a grain of truth way down inside this one. You folks do remember that we have an overshoot population, and that the actual sustainable global human population is estimated to be within the bounds of 125M and 1B? Lastly, do you recall that the mere presence of 7.5B humans constitutes a deady event we have dubbed the Sixth Great Extinction?

Why, "Who would think such a thing?" you say. Perhaps that same group of wealthy elites who gathered most of the riches in the world for themselves, while the rest of the Kudzu Apes struggle to survive?

That could not possibly be the case, could it? Such human evil could not possibly exist, could it?

It's the opposite. The globalists want a big population and most people to work their butts off for cheap labor so that they can take advantage of it. They profit huge off of a high volume of cheap labor. Greed and common sense.

No one here wants to kill anybody. Many of us here see that the die off is inevitable.

I assure you I don’t want to die. But I have a will because it is inevitable. Your statement is akin to saying I want to commit suicide

Newfie. You and I have been members of this board for a very long time. You know that when discussions come up about over-population we have a solid contingent of folks who want to eliminate most of the earth's population. I guess their theory is that they won't be in the group eliminated and they will be able to write poetry, paint, or lie in a hammock all day while the women gather in root crops.

Human existence is brutal. Always has been. Want to learn a skill? Learn how to kill your fellow man efficiently, whether its with a gun or a spear. There will be little need for poets and artists where we are heading.

Pointing out that with each day we are undermining Earth life support systems and paving the way for an ever greater die off is NOT the same as wanting all those people to die. But of course Cog jumps at the opportunity to label some of us leftie Communists /Globalists. He just detests the idea that maybe we all need to collectively do things to try and avert this dieoff. Because then Cog, could not be so selfishly looking at what is good for himself and his kin. As you stated Cog, just don't touch MY money.

Look, in Cog's defense, I did not feel labelled as a Globalist, and I'm all about harmonizing with our environment to the extent possible while allowing everyone the level of tech they are comfortable with.

That is exactly the position of the globalists on the ascent of resource exploitation. I have some bad news for you. On the back side all that cheap labor quickly turns from an asset to a liability.

Cog, Our ONE point of disagreement is over DESIRE. There is a solid contingent who understand that humanity is killing Earth and who may well also kill all of humanity. That contingent understands that the population needs to be reduced sharply and soon.

That does not mean they want to inflict suffering. It simply means they understand the numbers, the accounting.

In fact, given some of your recent comments (35 hour work week), I think I now include you in that contingent. Welcome aboard!
